For the motion work I believe Houdini is far superior to C4D. Last C4D user I talked to told me the normals aren't exposed in Maxxon's software... 2018-05-03 15:17 GMT+02:00 Jordi Bares : > Is it realistic assuming anyone at all (except someone with a brain the > size of a

Re: Houdini : non VFX jobs?

Is it realistic assuming anyone at all (except someone with a brain the size of a watermelon ;-) can come out of a 2 year course and command Houdini in any meaningful way? I don’t think so… let alone their art, C4D and Houdini. In terms of market realities and "in-house teams able to compete”,

Re: Houdini : non VFX jobs?

As soon as I started looking at Maya, it just made me sad, but when I delved into Houdini i felt quite at home and it always feels like they are pushing it forward. Also re Maya I never had that "ooh thats a good feature", but with Houdini its all the time, I just need to up my coding skills. On

If anything I can guarantee you the general vibe has changed from Houdini=FX to Houdini=Anything you want except rigging because it is hard to find riggers Ultimately is up to you, if you aim towards a particular area you will get there… simple as that. jb > On 2 May 2018, at 17:07, Laurence

Re: Houdini : non VFX jobs?

Houdini is increasingly being used by Motion Design shops too. Prime examples being ManvsMachine and Aixsponza (there are many, many more). Outside of FX, I think Houdini is most often partnered with another DCC in the major shops. For motion design, the partner is more likely to be C4D, but

Re: Houdini : non VFX jobs?

Its something I've been wondering too. I have been learning Houdini for the last year or more, and I really like it, but I am concerned I'm going to spend my working days doing vfx sims, which isn't my favourite. Houdini is still very much shoved into the vfx box. I dread the thought of being
